There is no one way to do anything, as life is messy and always changing and we must adapt.
Building boards are like that. No board is ever the same.
Make it your own, use what you have. Don't apologize for making a culinary mistake. your guests will enjoy being served something special by you.
I always enjoy bringing people together with great food, fun, family and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to serve a charcuterie (cheese) board.
